It has been a million and a half years since James was last in the bar.
So, what is the first thing he does? (Well, after a quick bite to eat and a visit to his old room.) He takes his broom out for a spin.
Later, while his younger brother is elsewhere in the bar - at an older age than James currently is, might we add (only in Milliways!) - James himself (in his Quidditch robes) is outside by the porch, absent-mindedly picking at the worn leather of his boots. His broom is propped next to him.
He'd forgotten how much he missed this place.

Its owner seems to have had a similar idea, as he's coming in for a landing on a flying boogie board that he's getting a bit too big for. Unlike James, though, his flight was meant to relieve his feelings... and it doesn't seem to have worked.

And hey! It's Enzo!
He hasn't seen Enzo in ages.
Not noticing his green compadre's expression, James waves.
no subject
"Hey, James! I haven't seen you in a long time."
His tone isn't as enthusiastic as it might be. He's a mite preoccupied.
no subject
There's also the fact that James is partially oblivious to bad moods in general, unless they're being gonked across his head.
He blinks.
"Oy! You look a bit older."
Bloody hell. He's feeling more and more like a kid.

"Yeah, I know. That's because I don't think I am."
Much.
"I used to come here almost every day. Now it's been ... nearly half a school year? Blimey."
no subject
"I don't remember how long it is since I've seen you. Longer than that, though, for me."
no subject
"So. How've you been, then?"
no subject
"Great, until last night."

He even looks to be giving Enzo his full attention, which is pretty hard to do sometimes when you're thirteen-going-on-fourteen and full of energy.
"Yeah? What happened?"

no subject
"That's - bad, yeah?"
He might not know the specifics, but 'virus' tends to universally be a negative thing.

"Oh! Hullo."
It's been a while.

"Am I interrupting."

"No, not really."

A pause.
"How're you?"
no subject
"I'm okay just bound."

Really?
James makes a sympathetic face.
"How long's it been?"

He'd had a feeling it was some summer month; he just wasn't sure which one.
In any case ... January, February, March ...
"Blimey! That's a little more than half a year!"
